David Maraga: The right to a fair hearing is sacrosanct. The court finds that Gachagua was not given a fair hearing...In my view, after that finding, the inevitable conclusion would have been to annul that impeachment.

The Sell-Out Pipeline: How Sauti Sol and Dennis Ombachi Were Absorbed Into the Regime
The song “Tujiangalie” by Sauti Sol was not a random release. It was a government-sponsored track designed to push Uhuru Kenyatta’s long-held mantra of evading accountability: “Don’t ask what the government can do for you, ask what you can do for the government.”
The song functioned much like “Mungu Baba Twaomba” by Roughtone Mr. Igi igi - less as genuine reflection and more as messaging designed to calm public anger and redirect attention during a politically charged period following the disputed 2007 election involving Mwai Kibaki.
This is the same reverse psychology playbook behind government campaigns like “security begins with you” - subtly shifting the burden onto citizens while the ruling elite embezzles the funds meant for actual security.
Classic colonial deflection.
Eventually, Sauti Sol had a nasty public fallout with Uhuru Kenyatta after he stole their Studio Mashinani concept. The group had proposed government-funded studios in every county to nurture talent. Uhuru and then-ICT CS Joe Mucheru ran with the idea, but as usual with government execution, it was pathetic and flopped.
The bottom line is Bien and Sauti Sol’s disagreement with Uhuru was never about principle or conscience. It was about business and credit.
Fast forward to last year: Bien leading thunderous “Ruto Must Go” chants during his concerts in the US and UK clearly rattled the regime. British-backed war criminal and mass murderer William Ruto felt the heat.
What followed were calculated back-channel engagements to buy Bien out.
The whole drama at the Kalasha Awards - Ruto walking in while Bien’s new song played, then publicly endorsing it as his favorite - was a carefully staged soft launch of this partnership. Embedding Bien and state-sponsored propaganda hoodlum Dennis Ombachi at the France-Africa colonial summit was the consummation of this unholy alliance.
Ombachi himself has form. He was at the forefront of demobilizing Gen Z protests, shamelessly sanitizing unscrupulous scammers like Hanifa Adan. Last year, he collaborated with the Ruto regime to fly in TikToker Dylan Page right in the middle of the June 25 protests to help shoot content aimed at cooling down the streets.
One thing is crystal clear: their shameless capitulation has left many Kenyans angry and deeply vexed. Like so many other influencers, X-bloggers, and creatives, they hide behind the movement, borrow its credibility, and then use that borrowed legitimacy to demobilize and sabotage it from within.
That is textbook treachery.
Nobody would have a serious problem with people who openly declare their allegiances. But pretending to stand with the people only to stab the movement in the back will not be tolerated.
Bien will be used as the example. The streets are watching. The receipts are being kept.
And the patience for camouflaged saboteurs pretending to be part of the revolution is running extremely thin.
